    That's true.

    On the other hand, you have not demonstrated that you are obeying the Lord by your acceptance of non-scriptural KJV-only reasoning/teaching. You have also not demonstrated that believers who disagree with human, non-scriptural KJV-only reasoning/teaching are disobeying the Lord by doing so.

    It would be obeying the Lord and scripture to oppose those who attempt to teach traditions and opinions of men as being a doctrine of God (Mark 7:7-9).

    It would be obeying the Scriptures to advocate the use of just measures/standards and to oppose the use of unjust measures/standards.

    It would be obeying the Scriptures to make righteous judgments and to speak (post) the truth.

    Part of obeying Jesus is to answer His calling. Can't speak for Logos, but I have felt called for years to work against false doctrines of faith/worship & against pseudo-Christian cults.

    In this sub-forum, the KJVO myth is a prevalent false doctrine, so I post here against it. (Elsewhere, I post against preterism, regenerational baptism, etc. & against such pseudo-Christian cults as JW, SDA, LDS, RCC, Amish, Quakers, etc. Yes, many Quakers say they're not Christians !)

    I know not everyone likes this, but my duty is to GOD, not man. If my work leads one person from one false doctrine, it'll have been worth it.

    And, I BELIEVE MOST SCRIPTURE LITERALLY ! While there's SOME symbolism in Scripture, it always represents something literal. If Scripture weren't literal, men could make it fit any doctrine he could invent. That's what many cults do now, invent new and false meanings for certain passages of Scripture !

    (BTW, as a Navy corpsman deployed on land in Nam for 2 years, I saw & handled the effects of war first hand!)

    Sure. But maybe you two could wait until some KJVO person asserts KJV-onlyism and then you could pounce, rather than starting threads every couple weeks.

    Do you practice what you preach since you evidently include your allegations against Calvinists and Calvinism in every post that you make?

    Present posters have been supporting or advocating human KJV-only reasoning/teaching.

    If it WERE scriptural, it would be false. :Laugh

    Why, yes, yes I do.

    Someone asserts Calvinism on a daily basis here. There's even an entire forum dedicated to it.

    Not only that, but I discuss plenty of other topics here, unlike your monomaniacal devotion to KJV-onlyism.

    Thanks for playing.

    Hello Robycop (cool name!). Just for my clarification, do you add KJV-Onlyist ‘false doctrine’ on the same plain of teaching as the LDS, JW, Quakers, etc? I am not KJVO but in my ministry experience it typically shows itself as more of KJV-Preferred.

    Naturally, some false doctrines and/or cults are worse than others. Not all lead to doom, but all should be addressed.

    The KJVO myth could be quite-harmful to someone who was led to Jesus through God's word in another version, if some KJVO manages to convince a person that he/she is using a false Bible version. That could cause a person to doubt God's word.

    While the late Dr. J. Vernon McGee preached from the KJV & had a radio course that covered the entire Bible, (Still aired on several radio stations) he didn't hesitate to point out there are other valid Bible versions, & that the KJV has goofs & booboos such as "Easter" in Acts 12:4. Dr. McGee said he used the KJV because that's what he'd been led to Jesus through, & was the version with which he was most-familiar. However, many KJVOs wrongly insist the KJV is the ONLY valid English Bible translation out there.

    How can the Bible possibly attest to ONLY the KJV when it is 1,500 yrs removed from the end of the Apostolic Age and the close of the canon?

    When you continually argue with people making asinine assertions, you eventually find yourself at their level.

    Well, you agree with Spurgeon that the universe is millions and millions of years old--is that cultic?

    Yes, I do, as I have access to scientific fact that Spurgeon didn't. However, the present arrangement of most of the face of the earth isn't that old. it's not cultic; it's SCIENTIFIC.
